The high quality cameras placed throughout Coquina Cove Apartments in Palm City captured the alarming image of a gunman moving through the development, with what looks like shotgun and a mission.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office says in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, 38-year old Dylan Randall Frost grabbed a shotgun and walked outside of his apartment towards an unsuspecting cab driver who had just dropped off three passengers at the complex.

They say Frost walked directly towards the cab and fired two rounds, riddling the driver’s car with holes.

The driver, who was parked to the side mapping out his next route, was so frightened by the shots, he took off and headed towards West Palm Beach as he called for help.

The driver spoke to WPBF 25 News Wednesday night but asked us to not use his name.

He was more comfortable speaking to us in Creole while his wife translated.

He told us he was parked in front of the community when he noticed someone sneaking up behind his car.

“He saw someone behind the wall and that’s not a good thing,” his wife translated. “Then something in his said, ‘No. Don’t stop. Go.’”

The driver told us he hit the gas at the same time he heard the gunshots slamming into the passenger side of his car.

“He was shaking. He kept shaking,” his wife translated. “Because when he heard the gunshot, he kept driving and driving.”

The driver did not suffer any physical injuries but said he’s having a hard time coping with the fact that somebody shot at him.

“I don’t feel so good,” he told us.

When deputies arrived, they say they immediately began working with the complex property manager, who allowed detectives to view

crucial video capturing the gunman and his description.

Investigators then located a shell casing.

Shortly afterwards, 38-year old Dylan Frost was in custody, and charged with attempted first degree murder.

When located, Frost had removed his clothes and was wearing a t-shirt and women’s pajama bottoms. Frost and his girlfriend live at the complex.

The driver, who works for a company called Lyft, said he didn’t know his assailant, and said this is his first encounter with Frost.

“He just wants to know why that man was doing that to him,” the driver’s wife said.

Deputies said Frost told them someone pointed a gun at him and he had to chase him off with a shotgun.
